FAQs

Can I do my Food Safety Training online?

Any chef and crew involved in the processing, preparation and handling of food for others need to hold a valid Level 2 Food Safety Certificate.

The MCA only accepts certificates from courses which are listed in MIN 689 (M). The HABC Highfield Awards in  Food Safety , delivered by Ocean Wave Monaco, are listed as approved in MIN 689 (M).

Please note that the MCA will not accept course certificates which are not listed in MIN 689(M) and the MCA will not accept courses which have been delivered solely by computer-based training (CBT).

When can I expect my certificate?

Course certificates will be issued as soon as possible after completion. Once your certificate is issued by Highfield it will be sent, via email, as a PDF document.

This PDF certificate is now accepted as the ‘original copy’ as we move forward to reduce our impact on the environment by wasting less of the earth’s resources.
All management companies and captains are aware of this, however, should you have any issues and we will be happy to speak to them directly to confirm the validity of  your qualification.

I did the Food Safety Level 2 course with instructor Mark, and had a great experience! Mark kept us entertained the whole day with his enthusiasm, style of teaching and ability to convey important information in a way that really highlighted the main takeaway of the course! He has a genuine passion for teaching and helping his students along their way into yachting with real-world advice and examples relevant to the course information.

Eleni
“Mark was AMAZING – he was energetic, knowledgeable, had information pouring out his mouth and was super helpful with any questions we had. He clearly explained everything, and I wish he could teach me every day. Very good course!!!”
Polly
" I realised how important it is for every yacht chef to do their ship's cook assessment as I almost lost an amazing job opportunity due to not having my certificate. Thankfully Oceanwave managed to fit me in very last minute but only because they had a cancellation BUT this left me very unprepared. They helped me through the whole process and pushed and guided me through when I was so nervous. I can highly recommend all you yacht chefs to book your ship's cook assessment at ocean wave ASAP so you don’t have to loose any amazing opportunities. Thank you so much Claire and Mark, I wouldn’t have wanted to do my assessment anywhere else but with you guys."
Sam Kelly
